Next Swap this Saturday!

Happy New year everyone! Our next Swap is on this coming Saturday, 7th of January 2012.

this month we will be sporting a few purple carrots, a boot load of cucumbers and fingers crossed, there may even be a few tomatoes and blackberries if this warm weather holds up. Jo is baking some loaves as well.

Oh would have so loved to swap you some items for those cucumbers.....However we will be unable to come. I have soooooooo many butterbeans and silver beet way too much for us to eat........... Have fun, good swap, and looking forward to the next swap.....Cheers Mitti

glad to hear you liked them, we have so many on my BEAN tee PEA....so for sure there is a deal in that. LOVED YOUR CUCUMBER............ Steve’s Tomatoes.......... oh the list goes on..... The yellowish once were either butter Beans or "Sex without strings" we mixed them so was not sure which one was which and who..... the bigisch green and flat once(that felt a bit hairy) were scarlet runner beans and the green purple once (that go green if you manage to have self control and cook them (but why would anyone bother)) are rattlesnake beans.... mine and Nadia's favourites by far.

Oh and my guests were extra pleased as I shared the cucumbers with them..... I hope they know how lucky they are. Am now heading of to a quiet evening with sweet dreams and memory's of most delicious Turkish orange blossom bun.......hmmmmm must barter for that recipe next time....

What is the Crop & Swap?

The Crop & Swap is a vibrant local food swap in the lower Blue Mountains. It's a monthly event where hundreds of people who are passionate about growing or making their own food come together, swap produce and share a cuppa!If you grow your own fruit or vegetables, have chooks or make your own bread or jams, come to our neighbourhood food swap! Everyone is welcome. Simply bring a few or more items to swap or share with others in your local neighbourhood and community.

The variety and quality of items brought each year has been fantastic, from beautiful fruit and veggies, to delicious sour dough breads, even local honey, and cheese.

While we love sharing locally grown food, the Crop & Swap is also a great way to meet others and share recipes, gardening tips, and local knowledge. Come along and make some new friends in our growing swap Crop & Swap community.
